~9 min read 1,792 words

"I'm very happy to see everyone here," the man opened his mouth. "I think I don't need to introduce myself too much; everyone should have heard of me and my family. I need to emphatically introduce this beautiful lady beside me—Talia al Ghul."

The woman in a green suspender long dress revealed a cold temperament from her beauty. She gently tucked her black hair behind her ears, smiled and nodded at the crowd, appearing noble and elegant.

"Thank you very much for coming to today's banquet." Her voice was very pleasant, and she was not stage-frightened in front of various celebrities and reporters holding microphones. She smiled and said, "This building marks a brand new beginning for Wei En Group. Being able to build such a landmark building naturally cannot be without the help of our good partners. Thomas, can you introduce them to me?"

The man called Thomas smiled and nodded. He held Talia's waist, reached out to embrace a young figure beside him with his other hand, and said: "This is the newly appointed president of Cat Getan Defense Group 'Red Line', Jason Todd."

Then he waved enthusiastically at a figure in the crowd and said: "How could I forget our old friend? The kind and just Judge Harvey Dent. Of course, there is also the famous entrepreneur and philanthropist Oswald Cobblepot. They are all my close friends, and also the pillars of Cat Getan's safety and economy..."

Just as he said this, a cold wind blew from behind, followed by a "Bang!", and the golden door that had just been carefully opened was now rudely pushed open. Police swarmed in, and the leader was a stranger no one had ever seen before.

"Good evening, Mr. Thomas Elliot. Cat Getan Police Department Joint Task Force action specialist Jack Napier. Two hours ago, the Cat Getan Tax Bureau tax audit team visited your residence, and we suspect you tampered with the tax report for the last quarter. Please come with us."

Elliot was about to glare at the person, when a document was "slapped" in front of his eyes. The hand holding the document was exceptionally pale, and when the document was put down, it revealed a particularly terrifying pale smiling face.

"Oh my god!" Greed looked at this scene and said, "How did Joker go to be a policeman?! Don't say, it looks quite like it!"

"You actually have the nerve to mock others for not understanding," Pride looked at a bunch of colored lines on the screen and said, "This is clearly not Joker, although he looks like Joker, he is a character of the Pale Knight type."

"Which universe is he from?" The Agent couldn't help but ask.

"Why? Feeling he will be very much to your taste?"

"I just think it's very absurd," the Agent said, "Joker auditing taxes and finding Batman..."

"Stop talking, you didn't understand either," Pride had to speak up, "That guy is clearly not Batman, he is Hush Thomas Elliot."

"But didn't this Joker detective just talk about Wei En Group? How could it be Elliot inheriting Wei En Group?"

"It seems there really is such a universe," Greed thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called 'Dark Multiverse: Hush'. Of course, in this universe, Batman also still doesn't have parents..."

"Bruce Wei En was adopted by the Elliot family, but fell into madness because he witnessed the death of his parents, and was finally sent to an asylum. And after the Elliots also died, their only son Thomas Elliot inherited all the estates of the Elliot family and the Wei En family, became the world's richest man, and replaced Batman, controlling this city," Pride said.

Others also remembered this story, but they were very certain that there was definitely no Joker auditing accounts in it. If there were no accidents, this suddenly appearing Jack Napier was one of the players.

"He can't be the Pale Knight," Greed continued, "Although the name is the same, and the personality looks about the same, there is still a subtle difference, at least the Pale Knight wouldn't wear this kind of makeup."

Although the screen was almost filled with various color blocks and lines, one could still vaguely see the situation in the real world. This Joker standing in front of Elliot wore the most classic Joker makeup, with green hair neatly combed back, and that slightly crazy smile hadn't changed either.

"I seem to know who he is," the Agent suddenly spoke up, "Do you remember that Earth-3 is a universe where good and evil are reversed?"

Pride's movements paused, and he said: "You mean the universe where Owlman is? You think this is the Joker of that universe?"

"That's right, Earth-3's Joker is a vigilante. Although his appearance is not much different from Jokers in other universes, he is doing what Batman does, and even more extreme and violent."

"It's possible, but why would you think the Main Universe Joker would find such a helper? They can't get along."

"Whether they get along doesn't matter, what matters is whether it's easy to use," the Agent continued, "Do you think you are like a fish in water in the Dark Multiverse? Or is it that I am more suitable for this word?"

"The Main Universe Batman really chased over," Pride opened his mouth in the theater of the high tower, "I don't know if he came to stop The Batman Who Laughs, or to stop the Morbid."

"Do you even need to ask? Definitely the latter," Greed said very firmly, "If the Morbid hadn't had enough fun, Batman would soon be able to see one-half of The Batman Who Laughs."

"The self-healing ability of The Batman Who Laughs is too weak," Mediocre couldn't help but say, "If it were Joker, he might be jumping around by now. He's still panting there."

"He is a Batman infected with the Joker virus, not a reformed Joker, his self-healing ability is naturally not as strong as the orthodox Joker. But speaking of which, there is a reformed Joker in this universe. Is the Morbid interested in him too?"

Pride stared at the changes in the colored lines on the screen, and after a while said: "It seems he is very disappointed with The Batman Who Laughs. He should be preparing to change targets."

"He'd better not go and mess with Joker-Bat. Even if the vigilante Joker's means are slightly violent, he is also one of the few good Jokers in the multiverse. No need to toss him around, right?"

"Perhaps it's the Main Universe Joker. Ah, wait, it seems the Main Universe Joker is the unlucky one, actually bumping into him directly."

Shiler was in a preparation room on the second floor of a hospital, wrapping bandages around the handle of a knife. This knife was very long, and even if Shiler picked it up, it dragged on the ground, because this was the upper half of that paper cutter.

Just because it wasn't meant to be held in the hand, it was more of a handle than a knife handle, and it wasn't comfortable to hold. Shiler took off the rubber sleeve on it and re-wrapped it with bandages on the knife handle.

After finishing, Shiler pushed the door out and met the Main Universe Joker who had just walked up the stairs. The light in the corridor was too dark, so both sides didn't see each other's faces at first.

The sound of the top of the paper cutter hitting the tile floor was so crisp, echoing in the hospital corridor, it was even a bit ethereal. Anyone who heard this sound would have a moment of blankness in their brain.

In the pitch-black night of Cat Getan, it was raining outside. A tall, thin man in a suit was carrying a long knife that dragged on the ground. Is there anything wrong with this scene?

No one stipulated that you can't wear a suit in the hospital, no one stipulated that you can't carry a knife after wearing a suit, and no one stipulated that the knife you carry can't be so long.

Before the other party made an attack, everything looked strange, but still normal. It was just that the whole look made people have the urge to run away.

Joker is not a normal person, so he didn't run. Until a flash of lightning crossed outside the window, providing a faint light for the pitch-black corridor, allowing Joker to see this man's face.

It was like adding the most essential stroke to a masterpiece, like dotting the last rest for an ethereal and terrifying piece of music. The deterrent power of this face was stronger than the entire look before. This time, even Joker couldn't help but take a step back.

The moment countless colored lines converged at one point, the long knife fell suddenly. Joker was half a step slow, and a long cut was slashed from his scapula to his back.

He let out a scream, but didn't slow down his escape speed at all. He didn't doubt at all that the opponent would kill him. The bit of Joker virus on him could only deter a Batman. Entering this guy's body, he would have to take eight punches in three steps.

After the Main Universe reboot, the Main Universe Joker and Shiler had no grudges. But every Joker can be said to be a psychoanalysis master. Those crazy hallucinations can also give them inspiration.

After seeing Shiler in the corridor, compared to the damage to his body, a cognitive explosion occurred in Joker's brain first. The things he read could even bring impact to Joker's crazy little brain.

He didn't know what happened to Shiler. He only knew that now, it was definitely impossible to reason with the mess under the opponent's skin. Those proud tricks and gimmicks definitely wouldn't work either.

Essentially, order as powerful as Superman and extreme chaos as the Morbid are both Joker's nemesis.

Joker ran for his life, but the opponent's speed was clearly much faster than him. Within a few seconds, Joker took another cut. He let out another scream and rolled down the stairs.

Just happened to roll in front of Batman.

Joker had never thought in his life that seeing Batman would be like seeing a savior. Looking at Batman's serious face again, all the stubbornness, rigidity, and silence—this was clearly a Dark Knight full of security!

Joker "whooshed" and darted behind Batman.

Batman was also a bit confused. He really wanted to ask what Joker was going crazy about. But the line of sight following Joker's back just retracted and looked forward, and Batman got a not-so-wonderful answer.
